Note by Justin Cook: A nice recording from the taper of many "EX+ AUD" bootlegs
from the Elevation Tour, this one isn't quite as strong as some of the earlier
recordings. This is likely due to the venue. Slane Castle features a natural
amphitheater that, while scenic, doesn't provide the best acoustics.
Furthermore, U2's hometown crowd turned out in huge numbers and was a fairly
rowdy bunch. The sound quality is borderline "VG AUD"/"EX AUD" (Disc 2 is
stronger and is clearly "EX AUD"), but this recording merits the higher rating
due to the band's strong performance at an emotional gig.
Note by Spindler: The sound is a little thin, and the audience is overwhelming
at times, but the performance is what makes this piece so desirable. The show
closes with the Unforgettable Fire being played over the PA system with
fireworks in the sky.
